and obtusely angular. Eye wrinkled and hollow. Stalk 

 short, and planted in a shallow cavity. Skin of a bright red 

 to the sun ; yellowish, marbled with a duller red, from it. 

 Flesh soft, juicy, and sugary. Ripe the end of August, some- 

 times in use to the end of September. One of the best ap- 

 ples of its season. The tree grows flat-headed, and makes 

 slender declining wood ; it is very healthy, and bears abun- 

 dantly, but principally on the extremities, which renders it 

 fitter for an untrained form than for a trained espalier. 



5. * Kerry Pippin. — A roundish oval apple, about the 

 middle size, with smooth sides, sometimes warted, often 

 nippled at the stalk, which is slender,-about 1 in. long, and 

 set in a moderate cavity. Eye broad, shallow, and wrinkled. 

 Ground colour a bright yellow pipped all over, and lightly 

 tinted with red to the sun. Flesh yellow, crisp, and juicy. 

 Flavour sugary and delicate. Ripe in September, and in 

 Use to the end of October. An excellent and much admired 

 Irish fruit. The tree makes erect shoots, downy, and, when 

 vigorous, full of spurs ; is healthy, and a great bearer. 



6. * Aromatic Rasset ( Spice Apple of the Hort. Soc. 

 Catalogue). — A middle-sized conic fruit, broadest at the 

 base. Sides obtusely angular. Eve wide, shallow, and 

 much ribbed. Stalk long, slender, and set in a deep cavity. 

 The skin, when ripe, a greenish yellow in the shade, to the 

 light a dull red or cinnamon colour, interspersed with much 

 russet throughout. Flesh white, soft, and juicy. Flavour 

 rich, saccharine, and highly aromatic. Ripens in September, 

 and continues in use throughout October ; it is one of the 

 best apples in the season, and is here a universal favourite. 

 To its other good qualities it adds those of being a bearer 

 that rarely fails, and a tree healthy in every situation; it 

 makes slender declining shoots.
